Cookie Policy

This cookie policy (hereafter “Cookie Privacy Policy”) is a further specification of the  privacy policy related to the website www.cslanguages.com and its purpose is to describe the different types of cookies and technologies used on the website.

– What they are and what they are for

Cookies are pieces of information (small strings of text) stored on a user’s browser when they visit a website. Cookies have different and important functions (executing computer authentications, monitoring sessions, memorising specific information on specific configurations concerning users that access the server, memorising the user’s preferences, etc.). The purpose of cookies is to improve the usability of the website, making browsing more functional and efficient and allowing to manage focused marketing initiatives or the provision of services related to the activities of the owner, such as newsletters, etc.

– Installed cookies

www.cslanguages.com uses technical cookies that allow to browse the website pages. Technical cookies are needed to browse or to provide a service requested by the user. They are not used for further purposes and they are normally installed directly by the owner of the website. Without such cookies, or by limiting their use, some operations would be impossible to carry out or would be more complex and/or less secure, causing an incomplete fruition of the services offered by the web application.

– User consent and management of cookies

Cookies can be divided into two categories: technical cookies and profiling cookies. As established in the provision 229/2014 of the Italian Data Protection Authority, profiling cookies are intended to create profiles related to the user and are used to send advertisements consistent with the preferences shown by the user when browsing online. www.cslanguages.com does not use profiling cookies. Therefore, such cookies will not be a part of this document.

The owner, under the applicable law, is not required to request consent related to technical cookies strictly necessary for the regular browsing.  Such cookies are therefore installed automatically by the website at the user’s first visit. However, the user can in any case express/modify their preferences, as well as the express consent, also by disabling cookies, by accessing the browser settings.

Below are some brief instructions on how to do this in the four more popular browsers:

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer: Click on the icon “Settings” in the top right corner and select “Internet Options”. In the pop up window select “Privacy”. Here you can adjust your cookie settings.
  • Google Chrome: Click on the button in the top right corner and select “Settings”. Now select “Show advanced settings” and change the settings for “Privacy”.
  • MozillaFirefox: From the dropdown menu in the top right corner select “Options”. In the pop up window select “Privacy”. Here you can adjust your cookie settings.
  • Safari: From the dropdown menu in the top right corner select “Preferences”. Select “Privacy” and you can adjust your cookie settings.

Further information on the management of cookies can be found at the following website: https://www.youronlinechoices.com

Since cookies allow for the memorisation of information on preferences, history of a user’s actions, specific browsing among websites, many anti-spyware products signal cookies as possible threats.

Since cookies are transmitted between browser and website, a malicious user or an unauthorised person could intercept the transmitted data and related information. Even though it is rare, it might happen that the browser connects to the website using for instance a non protected wi-fi network. Other attacks based on cookies involve the server settings. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted connections (e.g. https), malicious users could take advantage of such vulnerability to mislead the visitors into sending personal information through unprotected channels. Personal data could be therefore redirected for unauthorised processing purposes.
